Honey Butter Layered Biscuit Bites
I’ve always believed butter is a magic ingredient, so it feels fitting that the secret to really good, light, and layered biscuits happens to be butter. Before I make this recipe, I cut cold butter into small pieces, about the size of a pea. This ensures that when the biscuits are baking, the butter melts and releases steam, which creates small pockets of air. Those pockets of air are what make the biscuits airy and flaky. It’s impossible to eat only one.

Brownie Cookies
These delicious cookies are a bestseller at the bakery. They have a soft rise and just the right amount of gooeyness. We are a house divided when it comes to cookies versus brownies, so this two-for-one combination is an easy win for everyone.

Peanut Butter Pie with Chocolate Crust
I’ve never met a dessert with peanut butter and chocolate I didn’t like. And of them all, this pie is one I return to again and again. The crunch of the chocolate cookie crust is the perfect counter to the creamy peanut butter filling. With so many rich ingredients, it might seem as though the whipped cream will make the pie too sweet, but I wholeheartedly recommend including the topping. To me, it has just the right amount of light and airy texture to balance the other components.CLICK TO READ FULL RECIPE
